Reflect 1. Discussion Wh did a dashed line replace the solid line in onl the second inequalit? The second inequalit is non-inclusive: points on the line are NOT solutions to the second inequalit (but the were to the original equation) while the first inequalit is inclusive and points on the line are solutions to it. EXPLORE Turning a Sstem of Equations into a Sstem of Inequalities Eplain 1 Graphing a Sstem of Linear Inequalities in Two Variables Graphing a sstem of linear inequalities is similar to graphing a single inequalit, but ever point in the solution region must make all the inequalities in the sstem true. The boundar line of each inequalit in the sstem is the graph of the related equation for the inequalit, using a solid line if the inequalit is inclusive ( or ) or a dashed line if the inequalit is eclusive (> or <). Eample 1 Graph the sstem of inequalities on the grid. Give the coordinates of two points in the solution set. - 1_ + < Graph the boundar line = - 1 +. Since the inequalit is inclusive, the line should be solid. Shade the half-plane that represents the solutions to the inequalit - 1 + (above and to the right of the line). Graph the boundar line =. Since the inequalit is eclusive, the line should be dashed. Shade the half-plane that represents the solutions to the inequalit < (below and to the right of the line). The region that is in both half-planes will be shaded the darkest. This represents the solutions of the sstem. The regions that were shaded onl once are useful to help find the solution but the do not represent valid solutions of the sstem; the are regions that represent solutions to onl one of the two inequalities. - - 0 Points: (, ) and (, ) are in the solution set. - Module 5 90 Lesson PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Learning Progressions Students have alread learned to graph linear equations, linear inequalities, and sstems of linear equations.

Eventuall, students will use graphs of multiple linear inequalities as constraints in linear programming optimization problems. - Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Compan INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY Students can graph a sstem of equations on their graphing calculators and then decide which area should be shaded for a corresponding sstem of inequalities. AVOID COMMON ERRORS Students ma revert to using all solid lines when graphing boundar lines in sstems of inequalities.

Eplain Eample Solving a Real-World Problem Use the four-step problem solving method (Analze, Formulate a Plan, Solve, Justif and Evaluate) to solve the problem. Sand makes $ profit on ever cup of juice that she sells and $1 on ever fruit bar that she sells. She wants to sell at least 5 fruit bars per da and at least 5 cups of juice per da. She wants to earn at least $5 per da. Show and describe all the possible combinations of juice and fruit bars that Sand needs to sell to meet her goals, and pick two possible combinations that meet her goals. Analze Information Identif the important information Profit on juice is $ per cup. Profit on fruit bars is $1 each. Profit should be $5 or more. She wants to sell at least 5 fruit bars. She wants to sell at least 5 cups of juice. EXPLAIN Solving a Real-World Problem AVOID COMMON ERRORS Students ma etend real world solutions into more than one quadrant of the graph. Remind students that most real-world situations require that 0 and 0, so the solution set eists onl in the first quadrant. Formulate a Plan You want to find an equation relating profit to number of fruit bars and number of cups of juice sold. Then convert Sand s sales and profit goals into inequalities and graph them to see where the solutions are. Solve Let c represent the number of juice cups sold, and let b represent the number of fruit bars sold. Profit (p) is given b the equation p = c + b. The inequalities that represent Sand s dail sales and profit goals are given b c 5 Sell at least 5 cups of juice. b 5 Sell at least 5 fruit bars. c + b 5 Earn at least $5 profit. c 0 16 1 Cups of Juice Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Compan b 0 1 16 0 Fruit Bars Module 5 9 Lesson DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION Visual Cues Show students that the solution set for a sstem of inequalities consists of the points in one of the four regions into which the boundar lines divide the coordinate plane. Illustrate that the boundar ras for a given region are either included in the solution set or not, depending on whether the inequalities include or eclude equalit.

QUESTIONING STRATEGIES How do ou know whether to use a <,, >, or when writing a sstem of linear inequalities to model a real-world problem? Pa attention to certain words and phrases. At most and no more than indicate that ou should use. At least and no less than indicate that ou should use. Justif and Evaluate This solution seems reasonable because the solution region includes areas of large sales and profits increase with increasing sales. Sand can meet her sales goal if she sells at the points (, 9) or (6, 1), corresponding to $ from sales of fruit bars and $1 from sales of juice, or $6 from sales of fruit bars and $ from sales of juice. This tpe of solution is called an unbounded solution. The solution region is not contained in a finite area on the graph. Vance wants to fence in a rectangular area for his dog. He wants the length of the rectangle to be at least 30 feet and the perimeter to be no more than 150 feet. Graph all possible dimensions of the rectangle. Analze Identif the important information Rectangular area. The length is at least 30 feet. The perimeter is at most 150 feet. Formulate a Plan You are looking for a solution to the dimensions of the rectangle (width and length). To find the limits on width ou will need to relate width and length to perimeter with an equation. perimeter = length + width Solve Using l and w for length and width, write the inequalities that represent Vance s requirements for the fence: l 30 w 10 l + w 150 160 Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Compan Width (feet) 10 10 100 0 60 0 0 0 0 0 60 0 100 10 10 160 10 Length (feet) l Module 5 93 Lesson LANGUAGE SUPPORT Communicate Math Have students work in pairs, using cards with the equations = and = + 3 on them. Give each pair a card with,,, and on it. Have one student circle an two smbols and have the other student replace the = signs with the smbols, then describe the resulting graph. Then have the other student switch the placement of the inequalit smbols and describe that graph. Pairs can compare their results with others who chose different smbols to see all of the possible solutions. 93 Lesson 5.
Justif and Evaluate Check two points to see if the solution makes sense. (l, w) = (50, 0) or (0, 30) are both in the solution region. Reflect. Think about the difference between a real-world quantit like an amount of flour and one like the balance of a bank account. There is a boundar on cups of flour that is not stated eplicitl but does limit the choice of real numbers that can represent cups of flour. How is this different from an account balance? You cannot have negative cups of flour, but an account ma be overdrawn and thus have negative dollars. 5. In the first eample, think of a statement that would make the solution bounded or limit how much profit Sand could make. Possible answer: Sand can onl purchase 50 items (fruit bars or cups of juice) per da or less. Your Turn 6.

JOURNAL Have students write a sstem of linear inequalities in two variables and graph the solution. H.O.T. Focus on Higher Order Thinking 3.

Eplain the error. - - 0 - - Student A < 1_ + -3-6 Student B 1_ + < -3-6 Student B is incorrect. The signs of the inequalities are switched.. Critical Thinking Can the solutions of a sstem of linear inequalities be the points on a line? Give an eample or eplain wh not. Yes; if the inequalitites in each sstem are based on the same line and that line is included in the sstem, then the solutions of the sstem are the points on the line. For eample, the solutions of the sstem + 5 are represented b all the ordered pairs on the line = + 5. + 5 5. Make a Conjecture What must be true of the boundar lines in a sstem of two linear inequalities if there is no solution of the sstem? Eplain. There are two possibilities. One is that the boundar lines are parallel and the solutions of each inequalit go in opposite directions. The other is that the boundar lines are the same line but that the inequalities are non-inclusive and their solutions go in opposite directions.
